Is it stronger not to eat Or take back your control? Is the strength in wanting help Or finishing the goal? Are you weaker when you cry Than when you hurt yourself? Are you stronger when you make the change Instead of taking what your dealt? If you can't do it on your own Then you cna't be strong enough But then you only have yourself When things get really rough. Is the stength in holding on When all you wnat is to let go? Or is it when you stick it out When your body begs you NO? Are you stronger when youre moving up Instead of taking one step back? Or are you weaker when you give yourself The things your body lacks? My body contradicts my mind I;m weak but also strong I'm scared to have to face the day When all my strength is gone. Post note: I wrote this because I'm so confused and don't know what part of me is telling me to do the right thing. I feel like I have two things inside of me fighting each other and I don't know how to fix it. [This message has been edited by Tears of Glass (edited 02-19-2001).] |

"But then you only have yourself". This line shocks me. I realize I don't even know you, and you don't know me, but if you want to talk about it, I'll listen. I always talk to someone when I'm upset. I think everyone should have, and needs, someone to talk to at some point or another. True strength lies within yourself. It's not cryptic, or elusive. Just be yourself. If someone doesn't like for who you are, they have a problem. If things all seem overwhelming all at once, just step back, take yourself right out of it, and forsake those responibilities, there are people who will understand your reasons. I hope I can or have helped, I don't like to see people in pain. I wish unto you peace and love. "Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not." ~RFK |

Was this written about an eating disorder? I may be way off... maybe it was all symbolic, but it sounds like an eating disorder. Well, if it is, or isn't, for that matter... I hope it gets better for you. Nice writing, and good luck. xoxo Jenn "I'm a big, big, girl, in a big, big world, it's not a big, big thing if you leave me, but I do feel, that I will miss you much..." Emilia |

All I can say is try and figure out what your heart is telling you. A really good friend of mine keeps telling me that. Do what your heart tells you, and try and ignore that thing they call the cranium. It's easier to say it than it is to put it into practice, but it's true. And my offer (even though I made it a loooonnnggg time ago) is still up for grabs. I've been told that I'm a good listener, and if you need to talk, I'm here, alright?

I've been there where u are now, where you don't know what's right from wrong and there's so much to understand that you're confused. I'm not the best person to take advice from, but I know it does fade away. Strength from within and everyone else who loves you will prevail. Good luck.

All I gotta say is not eating is bad and unhealthy......if you suffer from an eating disorder seek professional help.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

There is one thing you need to listen to, your common sense Not eating is bad. You see it in the news. You hear it from doctors. Everyone knows this. It's fine to want something, but if it's putting your own like at risk, I think you better think twice. As Dopey has said, please go seek professional help So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S. |

yes... i agree with all thats said before me...this fight you are or were in seems to really drain you but your poem was full of meaning... the best lines was: "My body contradicts my mind" JR Life is fading me away, far away, but I’m sketching myself back, line by line, mark by mark. |
